MURDER MOST FOUL.
ia the TrC51Hs.


Tuesday night, by the arrest of a
man who called himself Charley
Neil, by Dept. Sheriff Langston,
accused OF Il most cold blooded
murder. The facts in the case as
near as we have been enabled to
ascertain them are, that the prs
oner, Neil, persuaded a Mexican
bv the name of Edwardo Mendoza,
to go with him from Fl Paso,
Texas, to La Luz, with his team,
to bring a family from the latter
place to- Ell Paso, and that he
would pay Mendoza three dollars
day for his services. a day or
two after starting, parties in FL
Paso, who knew the prisoner, ad-
vised the brothers Ct Mendoza to
follow them, as they felt assured
from the we'll known character of
the man, Neil, that he would eli
ther rob or murder Mendoza on the
road. Acting on the advice given,
the three brothers, Antonio, Car
los, and Jose Mendoza, started
from FL Paso on the 3rd. On
reaching La Luz, they were in
formed that neither the prisoner
or their brother, Edwardo, had
been seen there. From that point,
they went to Tularosa, which they
reached on the 9th, where they
found their brothers wagon, har-
ness and mule, in possession Of
Pat. Coghlan, of that place, who
stated that he had bought it from
man who came from El Paso.
After car efully examining the wag
on, traces of blood were found un
derneath the bed, and also, that
an attempt had been made to rub
the blood off the inside Of the
wagon bed with sand. Cogh!an
informed the brothers that the man
who had sold him their brothers
property, started off in this direc-
ton, on horseback. Convinced
that their brother, Edwardo, had
been foully dealt with, they came
to this place, where they soon
spotted their man.
Wien arrested by Dept. Sheriff
Langston, Neil had in his posses
sion, the murdered mans revolver,
hat, pair OF shoes, shirt and pan
falcons. The hat, Neil has been
boldly wearing around White Oaks
for the past three or four days.
When arrested he was eating
supper at the house OF his half
brother, jim Price. The general
supposition is that the murder was
committed at the White Sands,
and the murdered man buried in
the sand. He was taken from
here to Tularoso on Thursday, by
the Sheriff, where he will be eX
amined.
A singular coincidence is that
the murder was committed IN the
immediate vicinity of the Staying
OF the Nesbit family, one of the
murderers of whom was hung at
Las Cruces a couple of years ago.
Neil gave a bill Of sale to Pat.
! Coghlan of the murdered mans
mule. To Coghlan, and people in
Tularoso, he gave his name a;
Henry Allen.
The murdered person was
young man aged % years. On re
turning from his Ill tated trip, i
was his intention to 90 to Chihna
hua, Old Mexico, there to marry {
girl to whom he was engaged
The body, at last advices, was no
found, but as the wagon was traceC
in the sand to a point where i
turned out of the road and bacl
into it again, the remains are doubt
less found ere this, his brother
a having gone back on that mission

Look for Them! Ask for Them.

The first time you are in a drug store,
look for St. Patrick's Pills, ask for them,
buy them, they are decidedly the most
pleasant physic and the best family
medicine ever brought into general use.
The recent press dispatches reporting
Asiatic Cholera at Detroit, Mich, calls
to mind the epidemic of malignant dys-
dntary, called cholera, at Center Point,
Iowa, in 1879. Within a few weeks over
forty persons died from 1t. The princi-
pal druggist of the town, Mr.. George B.
Dunbar, who is still in business there,
sold one hundred and eight fifty.cent
bottles of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhna Remedy, during the cpl
demic, and states that to the best of his
knowledge, it did not fail in q single in
stance. The local paper published there,
said the same, and spoke of it in the
highest terms. The Remedy was used
in fully 800 cases, and not to fail in a
a single instance is certainly remarka-
BILE, when so many died who were treated
by physicians, or used other medicines.
The scourge was undoubtedly stayed by
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhGa Remedy, and many lives saved.
1t is a medicine that every family should
be provided with. Sold by G. 0. Malo,

Talks Right Out in School.

Ex-Congressman Cabell, who has been
Defeated by a Republican in Virginia,
has this to say regarding the attitude of
the south toward Cleveland, which
shows that the flag order wasn't much
of a card down that way:
ut was g question with my people
whether they should stand by me merely
to keep me in congress out Of their per-
sonal regard, or whether they would
join with other Virginia Democrats in
letting the administration ut Washington
know that they were opposed to its two
facedness and mugwumpery. Several Of
my best friends came to me about the
matter, and I told them not to consider
my personal wants and wishes In the
matter, but to vote their convictions.
They did so, and ! was defeated by a
considerable number of votes. 1 knew
what it meant, and had no regrets. We
Virginia Democrats stood the brunt of
the war, the brunt of carpetbagism, re.
organization, rehabilitation of state gov
eminent, the brunt of conservative
Democracy, readjustism,. and returned
to genuine Democracy. We faithfully
labored and waited for Democratic as.
cendancy. What have we received
We have been led into voting and work.
ing for the election Of another northern
dough.face, II fellow with fatty degen-
Grafton of the brain, q man with no
more knowledge of true Democracy
than a shoat. We have cast our ballots
for a man who turns up his mudsill
nose at us, and we are done with that
sort of thing. We are not the only peo-
pie of the south who feel that way. 1
shall never ask my people TO vote for
me again as long as men like Cleveland
are put up at the head of the national
ticket. The south has worshipped at
the feet of New York too long. We get
a poor reward, and want no more of it."
"Will not Virgins cast her vote for
Cleveland in the national convention
next year,"
"lf she does may l never again call
myself a Virglnisn. Is it possible for
Virginia to submit to snubs, sneers, in.
suits, through her representatives, and
then turn, dog like, to kiss the hand that
smites her? When Virginia's Democ-
racy becomes sycophantish to the brief
show of pomp and power which is vest
ed in the presidency, then indeed are
the mighty fallen. The officers are
powerful over some minds; but the state
Of Virginia cannot be bought with them.
The state is opposed to Cleveland and
his policy, and will not vote to re.nom-
mate or re-elect him."

CoGENT REASONS.
Why Dakota Should be DIVIDED
Into Two States.
f. w. Caldwell in Pioneer Press.

Into Two States.
E. W. Caldwell in Pioneer Press.
The chief opposition has been crys-
talized into the claim, 1.-TWO state gov
ernments will cost twice as much rs one"
"a very specious statement, and well
calculated to mislead those who might
not at once remember that the 1.-TWO
states" proposed are respectively one
half the size of the zone state' with
which they are compared Ia point
which of course prlcks the bubble.
There are in the Union eight states
larger than either of the two proposed
for Dakota and thirty smaller. Stats.
tics show that the average rate of taxa
ton for state purposes in the eight is
five and three-tenths mills, while in the
thirty 1t is nearly two and seven-tenths
demonstrating the lesser rate of cost
for the smaller states. Whether Da-
kota shall become one state OR two, the
size of the legislature and judicial dis
tricts therein must be the same in the
interest of efficient government. There
fore there must be in either case the
same expense for salaries of legislators,
Judges, ETC.; but the expense for mile
age of legislators would be nearly double
if all are to gather at a single capital,
instead of half at each of two capitals.
i t. -, ohvvso,,n t1,ok k10 ,vynror0 1Icto mo
travelled by members would be practi-
cally twice as great in q common
wealth of twice the size. Therefore, so
far as legislative and judicial expenses
are concerned, it can scarcely be dis
puted that division would considerably
diminish them. While the same line
of argument will not apply regarding
executive expenses, it is to be remem-
bered that the increased business III
these departments would require so
much larger official forces, in case of
admission rs a whole, that it may be
fairly claimed that what would be lost
in official salaries, in case of division,
would be largely counterbalanced by
the saving in clerk hire. So it is shown,
both by the analogy supplied by statis'
tics and by an investigation of the sew.
eral objects of expense that the cost OF
state government would be less by di.
vision than by admission as q whole.
Another argument for the one.state
theory is the supposed increase of pow.
er in national politics which would be
secured by ga grand and glorious
commonwealth" Just as if the occa'
sional satisfaction of a splurge at a ma.
tional convention is to be considered as
paramount to that improved govern
ment at home which is to be secured by
, haying an area small enough to bring
its people closer to each other and
closer to the authorities who manage
their affairs. 1t is u fact that the more
ready attendance at the capital of citi.
zens from distant portions of the COM
monweaIth exercise q beneficial influ'
ence upon public officials, and partic'
ularly upon sessions of the legislative
assembly.

Their Bushes. BOOMING.

Probably no nething has caused such
q general revival of trade at Bennett &
Horseman's drug store as their giving
away to their customers of so many free
trial bottlee ofDr. Kings New Discovery
for consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, colds, asth-
ma, bronchitis, croop and all throat and
lung diseases quickly oured. You can
test 1t before buying by getting a trial
bottle free, large size 81. Every bottle
